Yeah, I've notice mismatched scout mm in the last while, since the French on track event really. I've had a bunch of matches where it will be 2-3 red scouts vs 1-2 green scouts. The odd thing is most of these mismatched scout mm doesn't make sense. How does one T49 equal the same weight as a 13 90 AND a 13 75????

You're confused, it's the teams weight as a whole that's calculated, like Max said it's not individual tanks. So the light tank weight imbalance will probably be made up by other tanks somewhere in the match.

I do agree it's a bit of a problem though. Scouts should have special consideration in the matchmaking imo, in terms of balancing them between the teams.

Exactly, one more medium, one less heavy is fine.

Imagine tier X game, 1 team has a 140 other team has 2 T44. But to finish it, 140 team has zero VIII's. That was what happens an awful lot with lights.

You know I took a guess before even looking at the screen shot (which i confirmed after looking at it), MM struggles with platoons, the struggle is worse at higher tiers, and it's the absolute worst when dealing with platoons made up of only light tanks.

Not seeing the issue with that screenshot. That's about as close to perfect as possible. Did you link the wrong one?

Perfect as possible you say. So red getting an extra T49 is perfect is it??? Could have sworn both teams having equal number of T49's would be perfect but I guess not....

And yes, I was confused about the weighting system, I was looking at it tank by tank not as the team as a whole... But even so, there's nothing perfect about that match. They got an extra scout, whereas I had to work my [edited]off.

Yeah, I was looking at it tank by tank, not as the whole team. Still a load of [edited]though...

The match balance is: 1336.8 vs 1312.8. Your team had a slight advantage in this battle (1.8%) Having another scout would have given your team an even greater advantage.

I know now how it works, still doesn't change the fact that it's total and utter [edited]. Explain to me how our team having the same number of scouts as red team would give my team the advantage WITHOUT hiding behind the stupid weighting system. You can't can you. Why, cause it's not balanced. I had to do the work of 2 scouts whereas red scouts got half a map each. Explain to me how that's balanced.

Them having 2 scouts means they have 1 less shooter. You can't look at it on a tank by tank basis, you have to look at the whole team.
